It also ordered the lender to pay back its customers interests and payment delay penalties retained in the interval 2008-2018 on loans Bancpost sold to the former EFG New Europe Funding II B.V., currently ERB New Europe Funding II B.V., which is not a banking institution.

Bancpost said it has taken note of the decision and will seek further clarifications. However, it said, payment refunds should be claimed from Eurobank.

Bancpost was recently acquired by Romania’s Banca Transilvania, which said events prior to the completion of its acquisition shall be addressed and managed by previous shareholders, namely Eurobank Group.
